Why do people in addiction recovery programs keep going to meetings? Why do religion believers keep going to worship? Ruts. Today, one may be sober or a believer, but if they do not work at it, meetings or worship, prayer, service, they will inevitable stumble into ruts, old behavior. They may not drink that day, or lose faith, but they will practice old messy dysfunctional behavior which makes their day and usually the day of others around them all the worse. Ruts are the beginning of a slippery slope.
The homilies and musings of a Paulist Priest.

I sincerely hope your mission thrives. The Church these days seems overly intent on preaching politics and battering its members with ultimatums and threats instead of focusing on the messages of love, forgiveness and daily sacrifice that convert followers from the inside out and are therefore more effective in the long run!
